Why can silicone products moldy?

The weather contrast in many areas has been a season of heavy rain and heat. This is the season for colds! During this season, many products are prone to moldy black spots, such as this phenomenon is most likely to occur in relatively humid areas! Therefore, many families commonly used silica gel kitchenware, silica gel daily necessities are prone to this phenomenon, and this phenomenon not only affects the environment, such as silica gel kitchenware is just one of them, many friends after the use of cleaning is directly into the locker, evaporation and sealing of water droplets is also one of the phenomena caused by mold. In addition, the adsorption capacity of silica gel is strong. The absorption and long-term placement of foreign matter in the air will deteriorate, turn black and moldy. It's also inevitable!

Therefore, before silicone kitchenware mildew phenomenon, we should first find the problem of mildew to prevent it. In addition to the influence of climate, the main cause of mold also includes some additives in silicone raw materials, such as silicone oil, color powder, vulcanizing agent, etc., which are the main nutrients of these molds. Mold growth causes the plant protein carbohydrates in the silicone rubber to be eroded. In addition, due to the electrostatic action of silicone rubber's inert rubber, impurities in the air are adsorbed on the surface of the product, which can also lead to mold growth.

General silica gel products manufacturers should consider these factors, so silica gel kitchenware mildew phenomenon, in addition to raw material factors, mainly depends on their own control, silica gel kitchenware can be kept in a ventilated place to keep clean after cleaning, silica gel products after cleaning, according to the difference in temperature and humidity, choose to dry 1-2 hours, in order to facilitate the gap dry, will not cause mildew. After mold, you can wipe with alcohol. If it is difficult to solve several methods, can be treated with mildew. The mildew inhibitor should have high thermal stability. Good weather resistance low volatility and good material compatibility. Also, you should choose a safer variety for the human body.
